Calaveras County - Wine - Frog Jumping and Frog Balls
 
Living here in the Central Valley of California we are very close to a lot of cool things.   The nearby foothills are a wealth of history and beautiful views. The foothills are home to many wineries. There are several small towns that are fun to explore.   Two of those towns are Murphys and Angels Camp.  Both are in the famous"Mother Lode" of California.  
 
Murphys Ca, known as the Queen of the Sierra, is home to more than a dozen wineries.  Downtown Murphys has many tasting rooms, … (3 comments)

Calaveras Big Trees State Park - Part 2
Yesterday I wrote about Calaveras Big Trees State Park and specifically the Discovery Tree. The park is home to some amazing trees, the Giant Sequoias.  There are two types of redwood trees that are native to California, the Coast Redwoods along the central and northern coast and the giant Sequoia which grows in scattered locations along the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada.  On Sunday 9/18/11 we walked the trail through the North Grove of Giant Sequoias at Calaveras Big Trees State Park.  In the 1.5 mile loop I took nearly 100 pictures … (11 comments)

Stanislaus County Short Sale Agent among some VERY Tall Trees Part 1

The Calaveras Big Trees State Park is home to some very awe inspiring Giant Sequoias.  Some of the trees in the park are believed to be over 2000 years old.  These massive … (7 comments)

Today is World Nude Gardening Day
So I saw on facebook that it is World Nude Gardening Day today.  This was brought to my attention by one of my favorite wineries here in Northern California.  Twisted Oak Winery is located in Calaveras County in the foothills of Northern California.
Now I don't know about you but when I'm working in the yard the last thing I want to be is nude.  (I'm sure my neighbors would agree with me)   Have you ever used a weed whacker?  Would you want to do that naked?  Things are flying all over the place when … (11 comments)

Stanislaus County Short Sales - Time to Get A Little Twisted
I'm sure everybody in the world has heard of California's Napa Valley.  I have been there myself a few times.  The Napa Valley is beautiful and produces some world class wines.  Of course being so famous does have its drawbacks too.  Huge crowds is the first one that comes to mind.  Just try to talk to the person pouring the wine when the tasting room is wall to wall people.
For a great change of pace and some great wines I have a secret.  Just to the northeast of Stanislaus … (6 comments)
